investigating how the stun gun got aboard
Sheesh! That'll take the flatfeet some time then. Someone should tell them it was carried on board by a passenger, just like the other 100,000 mobiles that passed through the airport that day.
how a stun gun managed to make it through security
Lord, this is getting painful. It looks identical to a mobile phone. Does anyone really expect the muppets on security to know the difference, they must see several thousand phones each day and they're all the same. Lets not get hyped up over this or they'll make us dismantle our phones as well as taking our shoes and belts off so we inconveniently have to keep our contraband in our underpants instead...Imagine the delays that would cause. Don't scoff, its a realistic scenario if those idiots get a bug up their arse about it.
They never
ever spotted the Leatherman tool that lived in my flight bag until 2 years ago and that looks like nothing else except a Leatherman. It must have passed through a couple of thousand x ray machines since 11/9. That's not a very impressive strike rate, is it?
What do people expect?
Effective security? Get real.
Its not as if a stun gun is even a particularly useful means of hijacking an aircraft. A fist is just as effective.
Woah! Woah! Lets just not go there or we'll all be amputated before we fly...
